brochures, brochures, brochures

Today I am trying to work on the new, long over due, Pearmain Cottage brochure but Minerva, my beautiful 4 year old daughter, wants me to watch her ride her bike 'twisty style', which sounds dangerous to me. What should I do? Allow her to perform death defying stunts on her Disney Princess bike unsupervised, while I faff around with photos, page layouts and calligraphy (aka 'working from home') or pretend to be part of her imaginary world where mermaids can indeed ride bicycles? mmmm, tricky one.

Anyway here are some of the bits I am playing around with for the new brochure...........

About Me

I work for Border Oak, who design and build the most beautiful green oak structures.e oak structures all over the world. This blog will share behind the scenes inspiration, current projects and general nonsense to do with oak framing, houses and interiors.
All views and opinions shared here belong to me rather than the collective Border Oak mind - so it's my fault if something is wrong or a bit strange.
I live in a lovely Border Oak cottage in North Herefordshire with my husband Ben (who also works at Border Oak) and our kiddie winks - Minerva & Gabriel. We built our house 9 years ago and are forever looking for the next plot - ideally an old orchard with a bit of wild flower meadow and a long drive. Let me know if you have one for sale........
